ASBCA's FY2022 Report – A Look at the Numbers
Client Alert | 1 min read | 11.09.22
On November 1, 2022, the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) published its FY 2022 Report of Transactions and Proceedings, which provides statistics regarding the adjudication of appeals between contractors and the Army, Navy, Air Force, Corps of Engineers, Central Intelligence Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Contract Management Agency, and other Defense agencies, Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentalities, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.
According to this year’s report, contractors prevailed in 71% of the appeals decided on the merits, up from a steady 53% in both 2020 and 2021. The Report also indicates that, as usual, the Board had a high success rate in resolving matters via alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Of the cases that went through non-binding ADR, 97% were resolved successfully—including mediation, arbitration, and ADR of undocketed appeals. The uptick in successful contractor appeals is encouraging, but these statistics also serve as a reminder that the Board’s ADR program remains an important tool to successfully resolve disputes at the ASBCA.

New Post Appeals Mediation Pilot Program
On October 1, 2025, the IRS Independent Office of Appeals launched a two-year pilot program to make Post Appeals Mediation (PAM) more attractive and accessible to taxpayers. See IRS Announcement 2025-10. The new PAM pilot program offers taxpayers the opportunity to be assigned to a new Appeals team, which is otherwise unconnected to the underlying case, who will represent the original Appeals team in the mediation session. The assignment of the new Appeals team does not begin a new appeals process but rather is intended to help facilitate an expedited and impartial look at the underlying case with the goal of further exploring all potential paths to resolution prior to litigation.
